Sorry for the damage to the counter’s edge, but love ’whacked it with her wand’. If no one here has a suggestion, perhaps ask her to cast a spell.

Those chips can easily be sanded out, but given the location(s), along the edge, I’d want a pro to do it. Someone who has real experience with soapstone.

Where did you purchase the slab…and, what name did the yard give it? Also…what was the wand made of??

Yes, soapstone can chip if it’s hit on the edge….especially if the slab is a hard variety. My soapstone is an extremely hard variety. The only chip is at the sink edge, where it was hit with a cast iron pan. It’s small, and easily disguised with a black Sharpie marker.

Best bet is to ask your fabricator to come take a look…and, bring his tools. 😊

So that this doesn’t happen again, a little behavioral instruction would help.

Beautiful slab, btw!

We had a rental property with soapstone countertops and we would get marks like that on occasion. I would oil the spots with mineral oil, sometimes I would do the whole counter depending on where the chip was. Believe it or not, they eventually blend back in… to the point that you can’t see it unless you really look hard for it. I think that’s the beauty of soapstone, it’s almost like it heals itself!
If I were you I would wait, use your counter as usual and see if it blends back in. No need to spend a bunch of money for no reason.

@CC, oiling works well to disguise scratches on soapstone’s surface. However, along the edge as the OP shows and describes…any even small chips will still be rough, and risk snagging clothing.

Dents are typical of some varieties of architectural grade soapstone. I had Old Dominion ss in my last kitchen and it had a roughened edge that I sanded lightly and oiled, it blended in fine.

Someone needs to be whacked with her wand.

Call a technician, re-profile the edge to more rounded, and refinish. This makes the edge more wand proof.
